The State of Delaware does not require sellers to complete a bill of sale when selling a vehicle or other personal property.
However, it does provide a form named ‘Vehicle Transfer Notification’ with buyer information, which is similar to a vehicle bill of sale.
You can download the state-approved form below. It is a fillable PDF form, so you need to enter all information and print it out.

The information on the form that the seller must fill out is listed as follows:
- Name of the seller
- Vehicle detailed information, including Make, Model, Year, VIN, and Tag Number
- Name and address of the buyer
- Sale date and selling price
- Signature of the seller, together with the date of the signature
Notice that this is not an AS-IS bill of sale. It means that the buyer can claim a refund in case the vehicle has an issue. Therefore, if you wish to sell your vehicle as-is, please use the following form.
This bill of sale includes an additional ‘AS-IS’ clause that will protect you, the seller, from any future disputes.
If you are selling a boat or any other personal property privately, you should download the respective bill of sale, such as a boat bill of sale or an equipment bill of sale. Those forms are designed specifically for each kind of asset.
